Dear Kari

I have a file called ORCA.ZIP which I found on the internet. There appears to be a copy here:

Otherwise search for Orca.zip or orca.msi

Best wishes

Paul,

Virtual PC 2007 will not normally install under Windows 2000 but there
is a simple procedure on the internet to edit the MSI installation file so that it will not refuse to load if it detects w2k. It uses a program called Orca and is extremely straightforward. Afterwards, it will install and, so far as I can see, it runs perfectly.

Interesting. The ability to edit MSI files would be helpful in many instances. 
Where can I find this procedure? I gather Orca is part of Microsoft Windows SDK 
for Windows, which is enormous. What do I need to download in order to edit MSI 
files?

Best regards,
